Never heard any thing of the like from lawless. your wrong. Flat out. Willy has has the worst protection in the cfl and it doesnt matter who we stuck back there with the time we get no one will succeed.

your kidding your self into thinking changing qbs will fix any thing. Hes far from the worst starting qb in the cfl.

same situation. same as hurl half of last year etc etc. Its not too soon. Its the same reason he got let go in ssk. Its the same reason we were the only team interested in him.

it starts at the HC. not at the qb. Its not willys fault the D misses tackles in the first half. Its not his fault the coverage is soo deep its like the expect the wr to kick. Its not willys fault the ol cant block for run or pass. no duh. The OL has to give time, and has to create holes for harris.

He does well, because the other team rushes 3 he has time and we run the hurry up offense. Look back to guys like tee martin and our awful post glenn qbs. how many of them were able to even beat prevent? If we get willy time he will be fine. If we run the hurry up itll help. No one on this team believes in any one. Thats not on willy.

sure. doesnt change the fact macho is the worst tackler on the team though. And the worst cover S in the league.

yep allways been a guy who sells out for hits and is awful at just wrap and tackle.

Yes they did that too. Bringing in muamba to play MLB, moving leggett back to S having harris behind him would be pretty good. Agree about green and corney too. Going an extra int on the ol would be nice especially if bond is healthy. I think itd help a lot to move goosen to G and have some one else a C too. He struggles with reads and communication.

One could debate that his teams played with more heart and emotion then mos. Over all I wouldnt expect much of a change though. Ducky is probably right though, if its a mid season firing plop takes over. I cant see this team tearing down in the off season though and hiring plop as HC. Just a matter of time before he gets the hat trick. +osh cant get any hard play out of his guys. Rest is true. This isnt an un talented team. Not by any means. We have good young and old players.

wow SJ green tore every thing in his knee. acl, mcl, pcl, and meniscus. Sucks the league loses a talented player. Thats gonna be hard to get back from.

He was in position for tackles, not for coverage. His coverage has been awful. He still misses a ton of tackles going for hits. We do not have the kind of D that can carry some one like him at S. That probably why we started swapping him and moe a bunch.

it wasnt as much zone as it was too deep man cover. Which is strategy not players. And that rb is like 50 pounds heavier then the next biggest in the cfl and has run all over this team every chance hes gotten. We should have adjusted our called plays to have more spy/gap coverage and run blitzing. But we didnt.

nichols. Doesnt have a quicker release, less mobile, doesnt read D as well, doesnt check down as well. Far more turn over prone then willy.

mike sellers, doug brown and juran bolden were all considered locker room problems. id take a look at lemon if the deal was right. Moving willy will leave us in a horrible position with the lesser version of him starting.

For the pay harris got you would have had to cut willy. Ott only fit him and hank because they started fresh with no bad old contracts. If walters doesnt re up willy your still paying him a hefty dollar, and deal with the massive controversy of bringing in harris to a lofty deal while your qb plays out his last year. A major distraction, not some thing a team like this can deal with. Teams have lots of film on nichols Hes thrown almost 700 passes in the cfl. You replace and replace and replace you dont build chemistry and consistency. For that you have to stick to a few good players and turn them into a great core. Would we prefer to be running out kuale and brock ralph?

Teach willy to handle pressure, and the OL too. Get our dbs playing cover not cover + 10 yards. Swap mo and macho. Start corney. Maybe even use macho on teams start hurl move mo to s and ad 2 imps to the OL. Swing goosen out of centre. Bring in bond when healthy. Trade nuefield for a case of booster juice.

None of those guys are gonna be coming up here. 0% chance. People have talked about clements and barret for a long time. No way does mos go down to st imop. And tbh if we have to get rid of him as hc I wouldnt want him back as a CO. The rest is interesting though.

who said any thing about 5 year plan? Ottawa caught lightning in a bottle. One in 1000 situation. You dont build NI depth over night. Talent on the field isnt what has us looking like the worst team in the league. Talent is there to be a lot better. No team plays as flat and emotionless as this and wins. Id give your posts more credence but all you see is negative, and want to see every thing torn down. Thinking we will find allstars hiding on the bench and coming in with air lifts. Dave ritchie didnt turn the team around in one year. With Collaros injury, they wont part with him or masoli. But then masoli has had 1 good game. Collaros best year wasnt as good as willys. And that with more around him. Mtl wont move glenn or cato they have less trust then any team in their qbing. Drew tate only broke 1k passing once. 5 years ago. And that took 13 games. That leaves bc with jennings and lulay. They wont move jennings duh. hes their starter. He hasnt been steady this year either even in only 2 games and pre season. So that leaves lulay. Who you'd pay like willy and pray he can recapture the lightning of 4 years ago. With great pieces around him. AND hope he could stay healthy. Better chance buck pierce starts and stays healthy. So you dont go for any of that and you put in nichols. Last year he averaged 195 yards and 1 td per game.(career 91/.8td) Which out side of the 4th is about what we've gotten out of willy. So instead of drawing close at the end, we'd just be in blow outs. He doesnt have any of the skills that would cover up our current flaws on offense. He doesnt have a fast release. he isnt a more accurate passer, he cant improvise and make the offense work on the run. Not only that hes far more turn over prone then willy. In a lot less game action having not been the legit no1 qb of a team (at best the injury place holder) hes thrown the same number of pics as willy. Change for the sake of change doesnt solve problems and it doesnt win games. Consistency does. We replaced half the roster over the off season. Winning takes time.

Not personally he hasnt. Hes been a part of a bad production over all at OL. But when weve had holes to run through its usually him pancaking some one and hitting the 2nd level. He hasnt been getting beat badily 1v1. Weve seen over load blitzes from his side but he cant be expected to block 2 guys. need to get over that. Harris wasnt coming here. No one in the league would have cut willy and gone for harris, and harris was gone in no time after the FA period opened. Willy in 14/15 with terrible offenses around him was good. He has and continues to show flashes. You must not remember what its like to have a legit bad qb whom you could replace with any one and get the same level of play. Walters has done a terrible job? Are you forgetting the mess and lack of NI's that mack left? Have you looked at how many draft picks this year are on the team? More value there then every player mack + taman every picked. The team is flat, plays with no heart and is significantly less then the sum of its pieces. It doesnt play with discipline despite being flat. The D was done on the 1st drive of the 2nd have. At this rate the team will need a shake up on the roster and in coaching. But if you think we are gonna plug in some one we have or can get mid season and fix things or out perform willy your going to be sadly mistaken.

return game is solid too. And that 4th quarter...

Thats pretty much it. Weve had plenty of bad qbs before. And when it comes to garbage time they get little done. Idk how any one can think willy was gonna get pulled. 0 chance of that. Especially this early. Mos doesnt pull vets easily. They get tons of lee way. And there is no reason to think any one on the bench is gonna come in and make the O work in the first 3 quarters. If mos makes that call, and it doesnt work (its a hail marry at very best) his time as a HC is done. The season is lost. The team will lose confidence him mos and willy and we'll be in for another long long season. We have a better chance of winning changing HCs then qbs.

ritchie turned it around after his first season. The 99 team played with a lot of fire at the end of the season. This team reminds me a lot of the 2k bomber team. The big difference is that team had ritchie, and he had them play their hearts out. We dont have that now. This team has no heart, no fight.

Actually 358 yards. Not nearly 300. Its sickening.

I dont think any DC is gonna make a massive difference with how long our D is left on the field. But It would certainly be a step in the right direction. Id much rather see him replace mos then plop.

How do i figure? We have maybe the best OT in the cfl, 2 former 1k wrs with young guys shining brighter. We have one of the best rbs in the league. One of the best young Olmen in chung too. We have lots of guys who have been highly productive cflers. Neufield, for instance and hardick has been better. When willy isnt pressured like mad he tosses the ball around well. Weve had terrible qbs before guys who couldnt beat the prevent. Plenty of em. We have 2 proven high quality vets at each dt spot and one of the best rush ends. We have proven Lbers and proven dbs. The team is playing drastically under the sum of its pieces. What int ol do you think we are gonna get?
